Celebrating 100 years of success, Alfa Romeo has chosen the Goodwood Festival of Speed as the location to mark its reputation for being “one of the world’s most revered automotive Marques”, according to CarPages.co.uk. The festival is expected to include a Central Feature art installation, which is set to be one of the most “stylish and memorable sculptures ever constructed for the Festival”, reports CarPages.co.uk.

If you don’t want to miss the annual Goodwood festival, make sure you pencil the 2nd to the 4th of July in your diary as an event not to be missed. Like most memorable events there is a theme, and in this case the subject is ‘Vice Veloce’ – the passion for speed. According to RallyBuzz.com, the festival theme celebrates the “all-consuming fascination of motor racing and in particular Italy’s global influence on the sports”.

Having a passion for speed is something that we celebrate regularly, with computer games showing a ‘Need for Speed’ and films demonstrating ‘The Fast and the Furious’, with this event in particular  focusing on Italian racing, which has portrayed “breathtaking fervour, inspiring desire and devotion that transcends national identity”, says a Goodwood spokesperson.

The Telegraph website has reported that Goodwood will also celebrate 60 years of the Formula One Championship, running alongside the central theme, with a gathering of vintage cars and drivers that have shaped the history of classic motorsports most glamorous series.  Read more...

With their dazzling good looks and super speed ability, the young boys might think they measure up to their elder predecessors but in fact they could do with learning a thing or two from them. “Modern cars are now so fast and capable that you really need to be doing very silly speeds to experience the sensation”, according to the Telegraph website, which is why the unhurried glide of a classic car wins over the hearts of many car enthusiasts.

A rather unusual first choice is the Citroen DS, which was technologically well ahead of the opposition, with “hydropneumatic suspension that gave a magic-carpet ride”, reports the Independent website. What makes a car a classic, other than its age, is its distinctive features, which unarguably the DS has in abundance. With its swoopy, sexy chic shape and wrap-around front screen the dynamic DS easily deserves its classic status.

British motoring history wouldn’t be complete without a mention of the legendary Aston Martin marque, and in particular the DB5 – made famous by Sean Connery in the James Bond film, Goldfinger. This classic was well before it’s time and effortlessly combined power, beauty and soul, making it one of the most memorable cars of the 60s.

The swinging 60s saw many crazy fads come and go, but undoubtedly the original Mini and Fiat 500 are the iconic figures of the decade, and went on to be the car of choice for the legendary Beatles. These classic models were so far ahead of their time that they have once again in recent years been re-born with a success that has taken the motoring industry by storm.  Read more...
